raumdeuter: I think Van Gaal has been getting a easy ride with Man Utd mgt and fans which I think is solely due to his reputation.

Any other coach would have started asking him serious questions about his methods

raumdeuter:

When players were getting injured last yr you blamed Moyes methods, WHy arent you extending the same to LvG?

Every team deals with injuries and its part of the game

StarBoard:

no it cant be said to be weaker.
my point is van gaal made several changes to the squad.
its not yhe dame as when moyes took over

coogar:


let's follow your logic for a while....
moyes made fit players unfit. van gaal made unfit players unfit. who did worse?
..

raumdeuter:

Rojo, Shaw, Herrera,

coogar:




little wonder the top 2 teams have the fewest injuries. yes, injuries are irrelevant according to your dumb logic.....

Keky:
You guys only play once in a week, chelsea, city, arsenal, liverpool don't. Moyes was playing in all competitions last season, but u still criticize him on the injuries. What's the excuse for LVG coogs?

coogar:



nihilist, if you are at home.....come online, lemme use van gaal's team to destroy you on FIFA15.

Nihilist:


I get home at 7pm. You don't even have to be logged in to your console to add lalalefriday to your buddy list on psn. You can use the sony app on your phone.

Last time you claimed virgin disconnected the broadband....this time, I'm sure you'll claim that NEPA sent people to the UK to disconnect your wire

MicSmith:
Van gaal isn't doing better than moyes at this stage of the season and that's a fact that can be backed by our league position. We have more injuries and he has bn a bit partial in his team selection yet he hasn't bn criticized nearly as DM.

IMO this is beccause with VG you can see signs of progress and improvements in the team's approach but with Moyes it felt like the team was sinking. Also, due to our demise last year, expectations aren't very high. But with moyes, he inherited a team that jus won the league

coogar:


if this is true then the van gaal critics on this thread can zip it......he already said it takes him at least 3 months to get things right. even with that, i believe we would have been higher on the table if we had chelsea's kind of bill of health.

would smalling have played with a fit squad? it woulda been rafael, jones, rojo & shaw. even if rojo had crocked himself similarly or jones had seen red, we would have had experienced defenders replacing them from the bench instead of carrick, mc nair or valencia doing the job of make-shift defenders.....

coogar:


i have added you since that day but you are too blind a bartimeaus to even check your profile. i am an advanced FIFA gamer, i have grown beyond adding friends online to play....

my ish is the FUT15. buying & selling, amassing gold coins & building a team with 100% team chemistry & beating fellow managers on their turf. only amateurs like yourself are still high on FIFA classic.

nitlad:

He only listed 3 players who were clearly not made 'unfit' by Moyes na. . .

Nihilist:

Which one is FUT when it comes to 1V1 gameplay. I don't even have time for FUT.
Lets use the real teams---Manyoo vs Chelsea. Anyway are you down for tonight?
I will even plug my mike in so that I can be firing some verbal missiles as I destroy you on the pitch

coogar:


if evans, jones, smalling, carrick were all fit, would we miss shaw, rojo & herrera? injuries can happen to few players once in a while but what is happening to united right now is a curse.



fifa ultimate team....
that is what the big boys play - not the 1 v 1.
go to the feature & you would get handed bronze players. you play to win so you can get coins. the coins would help you buy good players & you would build a team, buy a club, get a manager, etc.

that you haven't heard of FUT sef makes me think you are a virgin FIFA gamer. are you kidding me? this is the reason people buy FIFA. their transfer market is a movie on its own. bidding for players(regular or in-form), etc. nihilist, you are not enjoying the £50 you spent on your copy of FIFA15.

SIRcumalot:

This is why the fans aren't calling for his head plus the injury crisis.
It also helps that Liverpool aren't doing so well.

But you can ignore the fact that our fixtures have been relatively easy and we haven't taking advantage of it.

Chelsea should've been awarded at least a penalty for the fouls commited same thing happened against City. And this quality gameplay we've been talking about has been greatly exaggerated.

@all what is our Ideal Centre Back pairing ?

Nihilist:

Of course I know what FUT is...

But why would you use FUT team in a friendly? Who does that? When you play against your friends, do you use your Master League team?

Why should I have have to build up my own team to play 1v1 when there are in built teams in the game?

Is this another excuse now?

coogar:


3 weeks or 3 months?

i don't even know where to start. smalling's stüpidity cost us the game. until that moment, we bossed city on their turf. we had more possession & blind was on top of their midfield. yaya toure was anonymous & we were breaking at will.

it's difficult to judge LVG.....
the football has improved without a doubt but he has been very unlucky with the injuries. no manager would get victories with the rotten luck he has had. i think we should just get rid of the sick notes & that includes jones, evans & smalling. they are too unreliable to haul us back to the promised land.

the big teams always seem to have the same back four in nearly all the big games. with united, it's always the reverse. where was rafael? why weren't jones & evans fit. by the end of the game, we had 2 rookies(paddy & shaw), a midfielder & a winger in our back four. that's simply not good enough for a club of our size. sack all the defenders & buy fit ones next summer.


even pep guardiola would be in relegation with this horrible curse of injury....

coogar:


you build your squad, i build mine. we invite each other on the FUT feature and we would see who's got more tactical nous instead of choosing chelsea or whatever.



because the in-built teams are not your own making. if you choose chelsea as your in-built team & i choose real madrid to beat you.....should i get credits for using a more superior team to beat a handicapped team?

FIFA gamers are tired & bored of 1 v 1 games.



how's this an excuse?
if you want 1 v 1 duels, no wahala.....but i get no props for beating you in them. they are not my teams.....they were put together by mourinho, van gaal, etc.

Nihilist:


Yes or No Coogar!!!!

Are you down for tonight? We can even use the exact same teams if you want...no Ojoro

coogar:


isn't there UEFA tonight?
it would have to be midnight again.....i would be watching the games & drinking at a bar with colleagues. if you are home now, let's play or wait till 12. my schedule is booked all evening.

Nihilist:

MSCHEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWW
I swear you are a criminal.

coogar:



how am i a criminal? you have till 6pm to take my challenge or wait till midnight. we would get to play proper then with any team you want. if you check my profile on your PSN, you would see how many trophies i have won already. i am too ill with the skills.

Nihilist:

I don't even leave london til 5:46...and it takes an hour to get home.

You are like Floyd Mayweather...always teasing just enough to keep the hype alive...then running away when the Pacqauios and Amir Khans come calling...

coogar:


so you travel to london everyday from nottingham? that's almost 100 minutes by train?? you would soon break down at this rate. your employer should put you in a hotel 5 days a week.



mayweather can be very busy.....
let's do it tonight. your skill level can't be that tight to face me. i will beat you with QPR.
